Meanwhile, Governor Aliyu has said that he has no plans to create more emirates in the state, adding that it exists in the imaginations of those peddling the rumour.
Governor Aliyu’s position on the rumour making the rounds was contained in a press statement by his chief press secretary, Mr. Israel Ebije.
Aliyu said those behind the rumour are only interested in pitting the governor against the traditional institution, adding that his administration would have upgraded more emirate councils long ago if it was expedient to do so.
He added that there was enough time to effect such a monumental change since 2007 and therefore maintained that he has no plans for such errand few weeks to handing over.
He added that the process of expanding emirate councils cannot be done overnight adding that series of consultations with the people must first precede such decision.
Apparently reacting also to a motion presented to Niger State House of Assembly on Tuesday to upgrade some emirate councils, by the Deputy Speaker and member representing Borgu constituency which was however stepped down, the Governor said he has nothing to do with the motion .
